THE LIGHTER SIDE.
BEATING OP NEW SOUTH WALES (BT CABLE—PBZHB ASSOCIATION—-COPXBIGHT.) (AUSWAWAH AND N.B. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) MELBOURNE, December 31. Commenting on Victoria's historic defeat of New South Wales, Mailey says it was marked by many humorous incidents. When the visitors saw the scoring official trying to crowd a four-figure score into the space meant for three figures, tragedy became comedy, and though they tried hard, their sense. of humour was a greater asset than their cricket ability. Andrews when leaving the held declared: "If wo can get two or three .thousand in the second knock wc will make a game of it." The bowlers admitted the argument but pointed out that they had to get the Victorians out again, aud they themselves did want to get home for Easter. . . Warwick Armstrong, when informed that Jackson was only 17, replied: "Well, it is just as well he's young; ■ he will be 27 before you get Victoria , out." ,
